G6 Max (EcoIllini)

Project Description

G6 Max will be the super mileage vehicle that addresses all of the shortcomings of Eco Illini's previous vehicle G6, to break the school record on energy efficiency. G6 Max will also serve those students who contribute to its development by fostering the values of sustainability and energy efficiency in every aspect. G6 Max will feature more electrical components to push the vehicle's limits. G6 Max's improved body panels will provide a seamless and lightweight aerodynamic design. The mechanical and powertrain systems will increase energy efficiency by reducing friction, drag, and weight, focusing on testing and optimizing.

This proposal directly funds:
1. Aluminum and Carbon Stock
2. Polycarbonate and Carbon sheets.
3. Wheel hub bearings, rims, brakes, tires, and miscellaneous parts.
4. Brushless motor, PCB components, Bondo, liquid Resin, and STM 32 boards.
5. Sensors, wiring harness, and manufacturing costs.
